Neither a fair nor an accurate statement. Misfiring lineout was due to the lack of Thornbury, Dillane and Roux and even SOB to an extent.
"Champions aren’t made in gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them: a desire, a dream, a vision. They have to have last-minute stamina, they have to be a little faster, they have to have the skill and the will. But the will must be stronger than the skill." Muhammad Ali

I've heard from someone that definitely would know these sorts of things that McCartney contributes A LOT to the scrum. It lines up anyway, if you look back at matches he starts the scrum is usually very strong.

He is the only player I have ever seen move from Hooker to Prop mid-game. Must have decent power behind him to do that!

His nickname at the blues was superfreak. I think it was relating to his strength.

Yup, was based on his gym performances while at the Blues.
On the level he can play prop to, 10 of his 22 Super Rugby starts were at prop, so he's a lot more than an emergency option. Have also seen him quoted as saying he's several kilos heavier playing hooker in the northern hemisphere than when he played prop in New Zealand.
